0-0 against ten men, but it could've been a lot lot worse. Thoughts?

Very Curbs
When on losing run stop the rot with a 0 - 0
But we were poor.
Need new players, need Glibey and Pearce back, need a spark which maybe Maddison.
International break comes at a perfect time.

yesterday I said today was a right off with our squad not being ready until after the window closes and I just didnt want to be embarrassed.
So will happily take that 0-024 -
Definitely some positives. Amos back to his best and Famewo looks like a great addition. Oshilaja looks a lot better at RB too.20

Take the point, move on
Two week break now. Players coming in5 -
cheque book time Mr S... quality needed everywhere...cap of course an issue0
-
Quite happy I don’t have to watch us for another 2 weeks.
Shite.17 -
Didn't watch but slighlty concerning views on here regarding Levitt.

A decent point considering we could have been 3-0 down at HT.
Amos pulled off a few incredible saves. Very impressed with Famewo. Aneke changed our attack for the better once he came on.

Zero shots on target. ZERO.
I’m always amazed how difficult we make it look to get into the opponent’s danger area. Sunderland waltzed into ours. Even Lincoln did the same. But we make it look like climbing Everest just to even get in proximity to the final third. Sides know to push up on us and press and we have absolutely no answer.
LB usually starts the game with the wrong formation. This time he started it with the right formation and then after 20 minutes changed it to the wrong one.
I'm honestly sick of watching us play absolute dog turd, turgid awful football.
Ok we looked a different side with Maddison and Aneke on at the end, but Sunderland did also have ten men. So not sure that’s really fair to say. On the up side, those two did look good.
Somehow we managed a point. Sunderland easily deserved a 3 or 4 nil win. Luck finally favoured us and we'll have to take it.

We lack such much quality its unreal. At least Maddison looked up for it and did ok in the 5 minutes Bowyer decided to play him. Vennings didn’t hide either and Aneke is a handfull as usual. Everything else terrible1
-
That was a painful watch. My god we need new signings. Defence looked shaky, midfield couldn’t make accurate passes and the attack was toothless.On the plus side, we will score a lot of goals in this league if Maddison gets someone half decent up top.2
-
Got grief trying to get the stream on Valley Pass.
Saved a tenner thank f---, again what's Albie done wrong
to not get a game!1 -
Didn't deserve a point but I will happily take one. Ipswich game being postponed is massive. 2 weeks to build a squad. Maddison and Aneke will be impact players, just need a few more to help them. The last 15 minutes was very positive for me1
-
Flat and uninspiring performance but would have bitten your hand off for a point especially after Bonne left yesterday.
Urgently need to get some options in through the door before the window shuts otherwise it will likely be more of the same.
Maddison should make a positive impact when fit and match sharp.
Lots of work to be done but feeling positive that it will come together before the end of the season and we will at least be mid table looking to build on it next season when things off the pitch will have been more stable hopefully.3 -
that was shocking
some of those long balls to our attacking right full back oshilaja at the end epitomised the complete lack of any idea by this team.
no shots on target. these new signings better materialise or we're gonna be pretty screwed.4 -
Fair result in the end, Sunderland fell away second half, we had a better shape second half but never did enough to win. Could/should be a completely different starting 11 in 2 weeks.0
-
Dull game. We have so many small midfielders who just want to play 5 yard balls, Williams, Levitt, Vennings, Oztumer, Morgan... They are all the same. Madison like a breath of fresh air, just wants to get the ball in the box early.13
-
One goal in the last three games tells its own story0
-
Would have taken that before the game. Looked toothless going forward. Amos save first half was top class. They missed two golden chances and we created nothing. Maddison looked promising from his short cameo.
Hopefully things look very different in a couple of weeks.4 -

Uninspiring... Proof we need further bodies and some more fitness amongst the squad
Even more thankful that we've got two weeks now until the next game
Amos is getting better and better with his confidence returning although his famed distribution has me scratching my head
Famewo appears to be a decent signing and will be difficult to drop once Pearce returns to the team
Bowyer admitted yesterday that today would be tough losing Bonne yesterday as we deliberately weakened ourselves
If Sunderland are one of the benchmarks for what a promotion chasing side will genuinely look like then we're not far off in my opinion - Thought they were just as ordinary themselves... As I said last week against Lincoln, our biggest problem this season will be beating the truly gritty teams at this level
Ironically we remain on course for our same points tally as 2018/19... Three points from our opening three games and a draw at the Valley with Sunderland!!2 -
We're starting to look like a squad with good players, but still a long way from being a team. Much better at the back and encouraging glimpses from Maddison who will definitely improve us, but too often we didn't have players in the right part of the pitch. Looking like eleven characters in search of an author at the moment.

Absolutely terrible performance. No idea how we got a point out of that. Deserved nothing.
But I'll take it.6 -

Oshilaja looks comfortable at this level.1 -
Disappointing, but there were some positives: That save from Amos, some of the dogged defending at times (though at other times it looked well sloppy and we got lucky), thought Famewo was very good, good to see Chuks back, Maddison's delivery will make a difference.

It's funny how much better we look when we have a creative player in the middle of the park. I know it was against 10 men but when Levitt went off and Williams moved into the centre he looked so much better then when he was on the left hugging the touchline.0

Two week break now. Players coming inAgreed.A week ago we were under a transfer embargo that had lasted for 9 months, and with a threadbare squad - and based on what TS has said we were weeks, maybe days away from administration.The season starts against Wigan and I expect there will be some new faces in the starting eleven.Not the best performance but we got a point, whereas based on the first half chances for Sunderland we should have been dead and buried.Onwards and upwards.10 -
Not sure about Watson. Williams very poor, offers nothing. Chuks was either completely knackered or is a good actor. Too many loose balls, over hit passes, people playing backwards the whole time, far too cautious. Free kicks and corners wasted. Maddison made a difference when he came on, cracking freekick to the back stick, and actually looked in a hurry to get on with things. Pratley too slow and obviously make shift at centre half and Deji looks better at RB but a couple of loose balls that could have cost us. I’d rather see Morgan than one of Levitt or Vennings. No shots on target says it all and failed to beat 10 men.
Having said all that, a clean sheet and a point, we’d probably take that all day at this stage. But lots to do if we are going to be anywhere near the top 6 this season.4 -
That was disgusting. Whilst the result is ok, the poor passing, the failure to create spit, and the inability to stop a single ball getting in our box was terrible.
The players on the pitch were awful by their own standards. Bowyer needs to get hold of them.3 -
I’ve not watched a minute this season, but that’s mostly because there hasn’t been any “highlights” yet...
I wanna say...the next two weeks are crucial....0
